The Gay Rights Movement

Or how a riot started by queers, drag queens, transgender people and sex workers became ruthlessly hijacked and monopolized by normatively attractive, affluent, masculine gay men who value assimilation and heteronormativity over universal healthcare - and who viciously spurn those magnificent queens who came before them - and gave it a universally accepted brand name (the GAY rights movement) that highlights its own exclusionary nature.

and the modern LGBTQ+ Civil Rights Movement that sprang up from that riot starting literally the very next day included in it’s leadership two very out bisexual people (Brenda Howard & Stephen Donaldson), who somehow consistently get written out of history and never mentioned.
